Bills - Steelers Moved To Monday

[AugieTN]

Bills - Steelers game moved to Monday due to snow. When has a game ever been moved due to snow? It's a good idea for safety

Steelers-Bills moved to Monday with snow ahead

It's a good idea if you want to limit opponent fans.

My son, a huge Steelers fan, was over this afternoon to watch the early game and a few beers. He was irate about the game being moved to Monday. He is hoping to get home from work and watch the game delayed without something or someone spoiling the game. Half the fun we have is rooting and bitching as the Chiefs and Steelers games unfold. If we aren't together we are exchanging texts after ever good or bad play or play call. It's the game inside the game we enjoy and will be cheated out of. I don't remember a game being rescheduled because of snow.

LOL! There's talk now the Bills-Steelers game may be moved again.

Good grief. Moving the game to Monday has already taken a day of prep and travel from the winning team. Tuesday is ridiculous. I understand there is travel and safety factors to consider. Have they not been considered in the past or is the lake effect snows something new to the area???? common man

It looks like the game will be played today. They are paying $20 an hour for workers to shovel snow out of the stands.

This can't be true:

....One shoveler shared a photo of what the seats looked like, and fans attending the game may be in for a rude awakening. The shoveler, X user @bflobadsanta, said workers were being told to only shovel the walkways, meaning a couple feet of snow was accumulating on the seats. Take a look at the picture below.....

This is surely closer to the truth. It can't be great no matter how much they try to shovel it away. I'm glad I'm watching on TV

 

[AugieTN]

I'm watching the pregame on CBS and a lot of seats are still covered in snow

 

[olbriar]

I just came to post the same thing. The stands are far from clean or even close to clean.

Josh Allen can run.

Steelers have found a new starting QB in Mason Rudolph. Kenny Pickett will want to be traded.

The Steelers were definitely the underdog in that game. They didn't play all that bad considering. They got off to a rough start and stayed behind the rest of the game. I don't know what they plan on doing for QB next year. Mason is no spring chicken. Kenny has had more than a season to grow into a starting QB and never made it. It seems like enough time to me to simply move on but the Steelers probably won't. They are faithful to their players even when it hurts the team.
